For certain applications it may be desirable to have an LED or LEDs connected to
this board operate at less than full brightness (less than 20 ma current). For
this reason, solder pads are included for placement of a resistor to compensate
current source output down from 20 ma. Fig. 1 below shows resistor solder pads
for corresponding LED locations.

Figure 1

To calculate the
resistor value, divide the LED device voltage by the milliamps (ma) you wish to
reduce. This will give the value in ohms of the resistor.

Example: Reduce the
current output from 20 ma to 10 ma with a yellow LED having a device voltage of
2.0. Divide 2.0 by 0.010 (10 ma). The result equals 200. Use a 200-ohm resistor.
To reduce current through a series of LEDs, add the device voltages in
the series together
then divide by the amount of ma current reduction.
